Electronic Skin

The electronic skin page is used to connect tactile sensors, view pressure data in real time, and record collection tasks.

Dashboard​

The dashboard is used to view real-time electronic skin data and perform collection recording:

  • Supports scanning serial ports and selecting the current electronic skin device.
  • Supports connecting and reconnecting.
  • Supports entering a task name / file name to save the collected data.
  • Supports starting a recording, and interrupting and deleting the current task when needed.
  • Supports manual zeroing to reduce the impact of the initial pressure offset on data observation.

The dashboard provides two pressure visualization methods:

  • 3D Pressure Ridge Plot: Displays the pressure changes of different contact points as a three-dimensional surface.
  • XY Matrix Plot: Displays the contact point distribution and pressure changes as a matrix heatmap.

The total pressure line chart on the right shows the real-time total pressure value of the electronic skin, making it easy to observe the process of contact, pressing, and releasing.

Data History​

The data history page is used to view saved electronic skin collection records:

  • Supports searching by record file name.
  • Supports refreshing the record list.
  • Supports deleting a single record or deleting in batch.
  • Displays the record name and collection time, making it easy to trace experiment segments.

After clicking a history record, you can enter playback mode to view the data from that collection.

Playback Mode​

After entering playback mode from the data history, the page reproduces the pressure changes during collection:

  • You can switch between the 3D pressure ridge plot and the XY matrix plot.
  • Supports replaying the historical data.
  • The total pressure line chart on the right synchronously shows the total pressure change of each electronic skin.
  • During playback, you can continue to view the task name, pressure distribution, and pressure curve.
  • After clicking Exit Playback Mode, you leave the current playback page and return to the data history page.

Configuration Display​

The configuration display page is used to view the current electronic skin connection and parameter information:

  • Displays the current serial port, the number of scanned electronic skins, the number of pressure points, and the automatic upload frequency.
  • Shows each electronic skin's address, pressure value output type, AD mask value, number of pressure points, and upload frequency.
  • Supports updating the pressure value type.
  • Supports updating the AD mask value.
